When I do cvs -n update command I get a long list of files

  • 0

When I do “cvs -n update” command I get a long list of files that are modified, missing or new. In the output, I want to see only new files, it means I want to see lines starting with “?”. Then I will do “cvs add file_name” and add the new files to repository. My project is in Linux environment. Is there a special command to get that output on screen?

    I don’t think cvs has support for this, I usually use grep:

    cvs -qn update | grep '^\?'
